This mini-tutorial was written mainly for personal use. The following steps are an example of the installation with the use of apt-get package manager of Ubuntu and Debian. I think that the packages are the same with any other package manager.

1. Update your repositories:
   • #apt-get update
2. Install Apache and PHP:
   • #apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5
3. Install Mysql:
   • #apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
4. If you need to re-set the root password of the mysql server:
   • #mysql -u root
   • mysql> USE mysql;
   • mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD(‘new-password’) WHERE user=’root’;
   • mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
5. Install phpmyadmin:
   • #apt-get install phpmyadmin
   • echo “Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf” >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Now you are ready to start your webserver and build your sites etc etc

ps: Don’t forget the port forwarding: set all the ports to 80 and under TCP/UDP protocol.
